And 1858 was not the most recent instance, there have been others since. Sometimes the feeder bands of a dying hurricane wet down the dust even up here in NoCal. But unless the California Current reverses and changes from a cold, 56 deg F current into something a lot warmer, there will be no hurricanes hitting California, at least not Alta California.

Watching the game on Monday with another Buckeye. I hope that OSU has not forgotten how to play like Michican did against USC. Did some of the Wolverines get stuck in DIA’s snow?

On page 7 of their Nth draft of their manuscript, Holland and Webster tell us they examined the spectrum; they do not reveal the results to the reader. They tell us they detected peaks at 2-3 year, 5 year, 9 year and “multi-decadal periods”. Reading the text, I gather they applied the 9 year filter (and sometimes a 5 year filter and sometimes no filter at all) to remove the El Nino effect which, they tell us, has a 2-3 year time period.

Since I did not apply a nine year filter to eliminate a 2-3 year frequency effect, I will not attempt to explain this data processing decision.

The Slutsky effect is also well understood by those working in signal processing, instrument development fluid dynamics, and heat and mass transfer. To avoid introducing the anamolies associated with linear averaging, analysits presented with noisy data usually transform data into the frequency domain, filter out the high frequencies and then perform the inverse transform.

This must be done with careful attention not to filter out physics or signal of interest.
